The Flow is playing at Emerson Vineyards 11665 Airlie Rd., Monmouth!
Friday, August 8, 6:00-9:00 p.m.,
This is a family-friendly show on a beautiful country hillside where you spread your picnic blanket or set up your chairs under the oak trees, watching the sun set while taking in local music and drink. Admission is $7.50 per person plus a can of food for a local food pantry. Round out your dinner with Emerson wine and/or Deluxe Brewing Company pilsner for purchase. If you don’t feel like packing a picnic dinner, Tom will be grilling and selling hot dogs, $3.50 for a dog and bag o’ chips.
Tom says we hold the attendance record for our show out there a couple of years back and so, obviously, we want to break it. Maybe that’s a lame reason for you to come to our show, but a really good reason to come to our show is that I think you’ll have a great time.
Rita for The Flow
Deemed a “banjo virtuoso” by the Washington Post, Adam Hurt has fused several traditional old-time idioms to create his own elegantly innovative clawhammer banjo style. Most recently, Adam joined forces with his regular music partner Beth Williams Hartness on “Fine Times at Our House,” a CD of old-time duets featuring Adam’s clawhammer banjo and fiddle along with Beth’s signature fingerstyle guitar. Their aim was to capture some of their favorite music as they play it at home for their own enjoyment; the result is a project that is at once intimate and enveloping.

Robert “Berto” Boyd
Robert “Berto” Boyd began his musical training on the piano at age 5 and has been playing guitar for over 25 years. A rigorous musician and careful researcher, Berto has studied and performed in Spain and the United States, with some of the world’s finest Flamenco and Jazz artists.
Born into a family of artists, which includes famed lead singer Brandon Boyd of the multi-platinum band Incubus, he is one of the rare and few Americans who has dedicated his musical dreams to mastering the art of Flamenco and the Spanish Classical guitar.
Berto has recently from moved from Santa Barbara to Corvallis, Oregon with the intent to concentrate fully on concert performances, composition, and the international instruction series – FlamencoGuitarClass.com along with Jose Luis Rodriguez.

For the Love of Singing – a class with Tom Demarest
Benton Center Community Ed. offers non-credit, “just for fun & interest” classes for everyone. This Fall Term, on Tuesday September 30th @ the Troubadour Music Center, “For the Love of Singing” will debut. It will focus on the popular music of the late 1950s, the ’60s & into the ’70s. After the first week our repertoire will develop according to the tastes & preferences of the class. The instructor (yours truly) can play & will try to sing almost anything from that era, provided others try to sing along! So if you love to sing, harmonize, and enjoy singing with others, this class is for you!
